During the COVID restrictions in 2020 she spearheaded the “Downtown Alive” initiative which enabled 32 Downtown restaurants to expand outdoors through the sidewalk, into the parking spaces, allowing pedestrians to ability walk along the closed streets safely. Throughout Downtown Wilmington, she has coordinated the sale and/or lease of numerous historic properties for upper-level tech and business service companies, strengthening the zoning mix to support retail and restaurants.
